Eating Keto in Rome, Italy | $$$$ Most Expensive Ham in Italy

[@eladsgarr]

Your video brought back so many memories. As a young soldier i was stationed in Germany. As soon as I arrived my platoon leader asked me if I was interested in participating in a bus tour of Italy sponsored by the base chaplain. Needless to say I was. I got to see Pisa, Rome, Toured the Vatican, the city of Pompeii and all of the ruins and sites. It was amazing. Sadly all of the photos I took on that trip were left in Germany but I still cherish the memories. As a young black kid from south Philly I never thought I’d see the places I did courtesy of my military service. That alone was worth the enlistment. Enjoy yourselves. Take lots of photos. You never know if you’ll get an opportunity to visit such a place again. And thank you both for all you do. You’ve helped my health and my outlook on life and the way I look at food and eating tremendously.

[@whatwhat8524]

eladsgarr Thanks for serving.

[@barbpershe5065]

Love the music you picked for this video! Thanks for sharing the great experience you had in Italy! Wish we could taste the food through the camera!

[@jaymanwitt]

Such a timely video for me, I will be in Rome in September and my rental looks like it could be a few blocks from where you guys stayed. I am so looking forward to the incredible food and history.

[@TheKetoChef]

Worth it. Wine cheaper than water 🍷. Cheese tastes 100% better in Italy

[@infernus6278]

Good cup of wine is never below 5$, so hardly cheaper than water :)

[@csabo1725]

And always best served in a cup

[@alphacause]

I love these travel videos! If the budget allows, please keep making more of these! I am ultra strict with keto. I am so rigid with keto, that in the 3 years I have been doing it, I have not had one cheat day or even a full cheat meal. With that said, I don't know if I could pass up having authentic Italian pizza, gelato, pasta, or cannoli in the very country that is not only known for originating those dishes, but also produces them at a quality that is unparalleled in the world. If I am going to take a once in a lifetime trip to Italy, I am going to try some of their most iconic foods, in all their high carb glory! On a side note: I love the Italian music you had in the background to this video. It beats the hip-hop you normally have punctuating certain parts of your regular videos, any day!

[@naxxas]

I would want to try everything also. been keto for 19 months so I would be afraid that the high carbs would make me feel sick but maybe one bite of everything every 30 mins or so lol I don't know I would just eat like a little piggie there..lol

[@JosephFalchetti]

I agree with you here. I don't think they are experiencing life fully without trying these high carb foods in their country of origin. I am keto for months at a time, but sometimes I want to try something from the amazing chefs in my city. Unless you have a health issue where you are forced to be in ketosis all the time - I feel like this is just a life experience thing that you shouldn't miss out on trying some of the best food in the world. I have been to Rome, Florence, and Venice and the food was fantastic. I've got your cookbook and followed your site since you guys started it. Done a Skype call with you guys, but I really hope you're cheating off camera or something, lol.

[@sugarbear9118]

Drake Santiago Your Right! Even beats the horrid music from White Channels Too!

[@tammymccoy2563]

Their pizza and gelato are amazing, in Italy! I really enjoyed are vacation there a couple years ago.

[@jimboe1010]

Wow, the Italian people are so friendly and helpful .

[@vangojo4u]

‘This is just wonderful. And so proud of you guys for showing people that staying Keto even in Rome is the right thing to do and not an excuse to eat things that would tear us down. Love you both!

[@kcdrapes]

Quote of the vlog I am Cesar! Love it your killing it! All over Europe you will find quality products where you can taste the passion for the produce in them! Not just the commercial crap that companies want to sell us for profit! Have to say your smashing it guys! Xx ❤️🍷

[@TheYogaDawg]

We just did the cheese/meat tasting today and it is INCREDIBLE. Thanks SO MUCH for the recommendation!! Your video is a huge reason we came to Italy (from Houston)!

[@thomaskeets3194]

All of the food in Italy 🇮🇹 is AMAZING!!!!

[@33334s]

I'm going to Barcelona next month and started thinking that I would give my permission to go off keto. Then I remembered what I ate in Italy when I visited (at least 4x, multiple cities) and, yes, I had pizza and pasta, but what I loved most was the meat and cheese boards! When I was in Barcelona for the day (a stop on a cruise), what I basically ate was jamon and dried salami in a cone. Yes, a cone, like ice cream but even better because pork. Since it's Spain, pasta and gelato won't be ubiquitous as it is in Italy so that will be easy. And honestly, I know people go gaga over paella and sangria but I am so meh about them, especially after eating keto for 2 years. I am going to eat jamon, lots of fish and seafood, weird parts of cows and pigs (including suckling pig and ears), and drink rioja and tempranillo like it's my job! Thank you for the reminder and inspiration that keto can be done in Europe.

[@Carmela007]

This is awesome. I am currently in Rome also. I am Italian and grew up eating all of this. Being on Keto it has been a struggle not eating, pizza, pasta, and pastries. Can you share the name of the Italian songs you used in this video?

[@nanuixt]

sono i Negramaro: Amore che torni

[@FoodieTurnedSleevie]

I loved this so much! Megha's Italian pronunciation sounded really good! Lol but I loved your tasting guide's accent in English the best. What an amazing location. Thanks for sharing!

[@tuz0wils0n]

Loving' the music in the last couple vids!

[@VaughnMalecki]

Finally MUSIC.

[@Beachbumbob]

I hope that you guys when you come back will re-create some of the eating meals you made or ate In Rome into recipes for us to enjoy, thank you

[@deemarie5054]

So excited for you two!!! You two enjoy yourselves and be safe!!! 😊

[@kbay907]

I've been to Rome a couple of times and the food is just amazing. Always. Glad you guys got to experience it. Do Tuscany next time!

[@Aggrav8d2]

Love Italy! I was amazed at how fresh everything tasted. The wine was so smooth! Rome was great, Venice was beautiful but my favorite was Montalcino!!

[@debbiel2098]

Thanks so much for posting! We have friends in Milan that we are planning to visit soon. Rome looks amazing!

[@StarfishChick13531]

OMG I never thought to check the carb count on balsamic vinegar. I feel like such a fool. I have been using it on all of my salads!

[@jessamineprotsanina6349]

I'm from N.J. but it has been 10 years now that I live in Rome....it was fun to see you in the city😀. Yeah, the food here is spectacular.... that's why I've remained....😘 Love you guys. Thanks for your recipes.

[@ketodoll1032]

First of all I'm so jelly! You guys deserve that amazing vacay.

[@valkh83]

You guys are makin the BIG BUCKS having a nice time in Europe..Good on ya!!!

[@scottyhaines4226]

Valkh they're making at least 100k a year just from the website. On top of book sales and KZbin probably closer to 150k/year

[@valkh83]

Scotty Haines nobody knows for sure.... but they are doing very well for themselves. Possibly more so than what you speculate.... as I said, good on them!! 😊 I love seeing people doing well for themselves!!

[@ron0126]

Figure $2-$3 per 1,000 views on KZbin.

[@sheilag9345]

Thanks, I really enjoyed the tour !

[@joeg1035]

Pachino tomatoes from the lovely town of Pachino in Sicily. My parents originated from that town!

[@CT-vu1jr]

I am seriously thinking about to move to Italy just because of the Sicilian tomatoes. I have heard so much about them!

[@suzieclary3328]

It would be worth having their soil tested, get plants and duplicate here.

[@sugarbear9118]

[@joeg1035]

The Sicilian sun has a lot to do with it!

[@ballyea1]

Loved the shot of the bidet in the loo!

[@lorialma2235]

Omg! I’m so jealous! Definitely on my bucket list! ♥️

[@sugarbear9118]

That CatLady Why Are You Jealous? Makes No Sense! Get your finances in order!😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@lorialma2235]

SUGARBEAR911 I’m going to assume that either you are not a native English speaker, or maybe just not the sharpest tool in the shed. It makes perfect sense. It’s a colloquialism meaning “hey! You are in Italy right now and I’m not!!” Did I say anything about my finances? Nope, that was an assumption on your part and you know what they say about assuming things.. oh wait, maybe you don’t. Either way, enough said. Bye Felicia! 👋

[@brittanycheri8900]

Love the videos abroad and music choices! Makes me miss my visit to Sweden and Italy. ❤

[@Stormy5475]

Forget Keto, I am in love with those huge doors in the beginning of the video. The Colosseum was amazing

[@tracydelgado3029]

Matt I like your choice of music with this video!

[@daej5702]

So glad you both are enjoying your travel time. I was wondering when you get back if you could do a video about working out on a keto diet? I'd so appreciate it.

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

Rome is incredible, in fact all if Italy! Food is great and don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal, regardless where you go. Have fun!

[@lalmirez]

ok so side note super jealous and happy at the same time for your new house, and travel. So when I clicked on this video is with slightly hateful emotions. Wow Thank you so much I have been to Rome but not like this, more of the tourist route. Thank you so much for your tips. I so pumped for going again. This could be another segment for you guys travel and keto tips along the way.

[@brandocristo]

Going to Rome and Paris next month and I’m back and forth on whether or not I should cheat. So, it’s awesome to see you guys do keto in 🇮🇹. Pushes me to the “don’t cheat” side

[@merrieleiderman]

It's not cheating, it's living.

[@brandocristo]

True. I've developed some unhealthily obsessive thinking. Have you ever went off keto for an extended period of time? I'm interested in hearing people's experiences with: 1. how long people felt that ultra-tired feeling for when they went off of keto 2. how quickly they felt their energy come back when they got back on the diet

[@lisainfl210]

Great vlog, sounds like an amazing time in Italy!

[@nicolewhamond1010]

I love you two!!! Thanks for sharing.. looks AMAZING!!

[@oooRicky]

Ok so I grew up a guinea in New York eating as close to this as new York allows, to the point where I bring dried stuff back to my girls family in New Jersey when I visit but this is def next level. If someone is into this stuff thn keto is a breeze! You guys rock! Super jelly.

[@lindenbrook2000]

Would love to know the details of where you went for food - the restaurants, the wine tastings etc. Also, which Airbnb you stayed in. All of it looks amazing!

[@angelovincenzo305]

Love watching your trips

[@QuiltTheDayAway]

Loved your video! We are heading back to Italy for a second time soon. Will check out your recommendations!

[@DJ-fn3jm]

Great video again. Thanks guys. BTW, best music you've had in like ever!! ;)

[@MDAORuble]

YIKES! Forgot to ask about the cheese/meat/oil tasting place. I want to go there too. Could you post the name of it for me? I am sooooo happy you guys made this video and at such a perfect time. I was thinking I would have to go off keto to really experience Rome but you made it look so easy to stay on and not feel deprived. Be honest though, did you ever eat a little pizza or gelato on this trip?

[@aqualeogems]

Yes please...

[@Cattiva]

Vino olio

[@mauvemotive1960]

I love you guys drunk as foodies. Please make more of these! The food looks amazing !!!!!

[@anitafetters1816]

So cool! One of the places I would love to go!

[@Nicknack2676]

I can’t belive you two are here!!!!!

[@MDAORuble]

Planning a keto trip to Rome next year and love this touring video of your time there! would you let me know the name/address of the apartment you stayed in. It looks exactly like what I am looking for. I will definitely being going to Vino Olio for that artichoke and small plate you had! Thanks so much for all you do... you both have helped me in my own keto journey.

[@StacyL.]

At 10:53 Megha, I swear you had a tomatogasm, lol!!!! I would love to know what Airbnb you stayed at and the names of the places you tasted at! My husband and I are planning an Italy trip for next year. We wanted to go for our honeymoon but we couldn't afford it.

[@jaymanwitt]

Taking my first trip to Rome in a few months .... your comment about the tomato has me wondering if I can bring some tomato seeds back with me ;)

Love love love Rome and your vlog!!!

[@namitareisinger6340]

WAIT! No kidding this place looks like the same exact place I booked for September. Yippeee!!!! This is so cool!

[@Stormy5475]

So excited, your cookbook just came in today.😁

[@jetwrite]

You guys are great. Love this. I could almost taste all that yummy Italian goodness. 😘

Man that looks great there! Great video have fun!

[@85chenzo]

You guys are world travelers...great video

[@TrojanMars1]

Great video! Looks like you're having a blast...well deserved...enjoy!

[@christopher01221]

I was just in Rome last month. Very hot and it didn't help that no one has ice! I wasn't expecting that. I found one place that served iced coffee, after I found it I went back every day I was there

[@jonathancarrion3982]

I’m truly touched

[@msjaebea]

That was a wonderful review! I really enjoyed it!!

[@micheleedwards1923]

Wow. Looked delicious!!

[@italatina663]

Awesome video! Great tips! 😎👍

[@paulaoyedele2081]

Lol......they say Americans are easy to spot because the baseball caps and exercise type clothes...y'all are giving yourselves away.

[@coreyw5958]

that's what I was thinking too haha

[@andyottito1]

It's easy to identify the European tourists in my state: Women have the short hair, guys wear the short khaki shorts, and obviously their lack of baseball caps and exercise clothes :P

[@sugarbear9118]

Paula Oyedele Yes, America’s Dress Truly Sloppy! No Class!

[@Meleekaphillips]

Where was the air b n b? Planning a trip out there soon. This video made me so jealous.

[@djtaina3910]

Please add the list of the eating places you guys visiting in Rome,. Also the place you guys stayed ? Thank you so much for sharing 🇮🇹👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ehillbaby]

this was awesome. I love Rome!

[@sophiabednarski2114]

Wow. My mouth is watering 😋

[@connieh.4689]

Except for being able to taste the food I'm enjoying your trip LOL. You guys have fun!!

[@calvin1148]

Love your channel. Have a challenge for you. How do you make a low carb GREEN smoothie? Very difficult bc of the usually nasty taste of raw greens in a glass with no juice. Doesn't have to have protein. After your vacation of course, enjoy!

[@michaelsmith1262]

So jelly. I was in Vicenza for 3 months about 20 yrs ago, but wasn't keto back then and just ate the standard things you eat (pizza, pasta, bread, etc). Would love to go back and try all the great meats and cheeses.

[@nicholev2276]

Loved this!

[@anaavalos2836]

video is amazing the info is great!!! (: i want to go there right this moment

[@wingnutbert9685]

Gotta say I love seeing Americans in Europe for the first time, especially reacting to food. :) When you get home, look for San Marzano tomatoes. They are an Italian tomato that is the only one to get if you can find them. I found some called "Strawberry" tomatoes that were very similar. They are canned to, for sauce. Amazing. And not the cans that just say "Italian Tomatoes". Not the same. Get product of Italy San Marzano ones. Love the "Holy SH*T" reaction of you guys to the food. Pretty awesome and CHEAP!!!! Salute!

[@Davedwin]

Looked amazing, thanks for sharing.

[@andyottito1]

Video idea: I've heard people in the low carb community sing the praises of resistant starch. You guys should eat some cooked-then-cooled boiled potatoes or green bananas then check your blood glucose or see if it kicks you out of ketosis.

[@gracelink8209]

I Lived in Italia for 3 years!! Please share that music that You played. Love!!! 💜💙💚

[@anthonynewsome2389]

all over Italy there are artisan food enthusiasts in small companies producing fine foods and wines , with all sorts of regional specialties much of Europe similar. I like tuscany x x

[@lifeneverything7064]

What’s the name of the Tasting Place? I’m not sure if you mentioned it or not.

[@anitramic]

Do you guys have any advice on how to plan a trip to Italy? I’m trying to do that in 2019😍😅

[@clairebear0713]

I love you guys to death and i think your vids are top notch but! If I were in Rome, ain't nobody stopping me from having their pasta and all of the carbs! I would have to break keto when there! Life's too short man. Even that being said all their food over there looked delicious whether keto or not! I would have to try that tasting for suuuure looked great!

[@garma53]

Hahaha, it’s nothing like in the US! If you liked the taste of tomato there just go further to Greece! Another planet of flavours.

[@sheilacollins9384]

Where did you stay? We're looking for an AirBNB or a Homeaway in Rome for the 2nd week in August.

[@heatherbemis4561]

Was that clothing store you were in Megha, was it called Layers??

[@BethyKable]

Looks like fun....have a great time !

[@michaelmacolor7652]

Is wine high in carbs?

[@iscelida]

Hello I used your macros calculator to figure out my fat, carbs and protein intake. My question is since I am intermittent fasting do I still eat that amount of calories or should I only eat 2/3 of those calories you know just lunch and dinner?

[@EudaimoniaCat]

I live in Italy, and it's not that hard to find Keto fiendly food. The only things i don't find easily (totally avoidable) is pork rinds and Lily's chocolate.

[@StacyL.]

I'm so jealous of you guys!!! How do you get to travel so often??????

[@33334s]

Because they don't have day jobs AND they are creating content through the vacation. They're living the life. I traveled so much when I ran my own blog too.

[@sugarbear9118]

Danielle Tropea You Must Have Been Shitty At It!😢

[@33334s]

I was actually SO not shitty at it that I sold my blog to Time Inc., then worked for them as a Senior Editor for a year, with my own office in Rockefeller Center. But if insulting strangers on topics you know absolutely nothing about is how you make yourself feel better about your life, you do you.

[@Cookie4XO]

With their views. They make $$$ off making videos and don't have day jobs like the rest of us because of it.

[@garyciapa5474]

Beautiful look how clean the streets are no litter unlike the US

[@aiaikago]

The only pizza that doesn't knock me out is pizza made with emmer flour (Zweikorn, Farro). Grab a few bags of organic emmer while you're in Europe. Worth it IMO.

[@SkorchdPizza]

Looks like great trip!
